Bowling and Bocce for Celiac DiseaseThe Celiac Disease database, created three years ago by Drs. Guandalini, Semrad, and Kahn, along with The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center, continues to expand. The database, managed by Celiac Center Research Coordinator NurAlima Grandison, has three undergraduate research assistants working on it to input the collected data. We continue to enroll both adult and pediatric patients on an on-going basis. We expect to begin work on data analysis this fall, and we hope to produce several meaningful publications from this work over the next few years. The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center is also working with other institutions on a study on the role of breastfeeding in the timing of gluten introduction and intestinal microbiome on the development of celiac disease. We are serving as one of the regional directors for this study and are currently coordinating study initiation at the ten sites we are overseeing both in the United States and Canada. Our study on immunological mechanisms of celiac disease is beginning to yield fascinating findings based on Dr. Jabri’s research with human tissue from biopsy tissue collected from patients for this study. A publication regarding the findings is currently under review by a major scientific journal. The Eating Behavior Study mentioned in the Summer 2010 newsletter continues to look for more participants. For more information on this or any of the other studies mentioned above, please contact NurAlima Grandison at (773) 702-3572 or [email protected]

It also gives us the opportunity to emphasize the importance of the gluten-free diet for diagnosed celiac patients, and to form vitally important relationships and partnerships with companies producing gluten-free food.
